Hello Alf, I don't do panoramic pinhole photography, but allow me to answer
your question, anyway:

Panoramic, *arguable* equates to a film format with one dimension of the
rectangle being 2 - 3 times or more as the other one. As such, I'd say there
are no secrets to construct non-rotational pano-pinhole cameras. Perhaps the
easiest way to achieve panoramic is with single shoot cameras using food or
other product containers, just load a piece of paper or film with a dimension
ratio of at least 2:1 or larger. If you own a camera that takes cut sheet
film, you could easily do panoramics by cutting an extra darkslide like this:
http://www.benderphoto.com/2x5pa.htm , that would allow you to do two 2x5" or
two 2.5x7" or two 4x10 per sheet of 4x5, 5x7 or 8x10 film, respectively.
